New Overlea Community Sign

The Overlea Community Association was able to secure funding from a Maryland State Safety Grant to replace the community sign at East Northern Parkway and Walther Avenue. Over the years, the previous (south facing) sign had badly deteriorated. We worked with Chris McDermott at Signs 2 Day on Harford Road to design a new one. The bright green and gold dimensional sign features a graphic of the old #15 Streetcar which made Overlea an accessible and in-demand neighborhood in the 1940’s and 1950’s. The new sign faces both west and south, welcoming visitors or potential future neighbors, to our charming little corner of the world. We hope you’ll drive by and take a look!

If you’d like to be more involved in helping to keep Overlea beautiful, we have work to do. The OCA has a knack for finding funding to support projects along our major arteries of Belair Road and Northern Parkway. But we are always in need of more helping hands. Setting up, cleaning up, patrolling, breaking down events, welcoming new neighbors, distributing newsletters…the list goes on. If you’d like to lend a hand, please contact YOUR community association to get involved.
